YOLANDA BORRAS
Founder
Musical Kids International
Musical Kids International is a program devoted to arts-based bilingual education for preschool aged children and was founded in 1999 by Yolanda Borras, a passionate devotee to musical education. Her program stresses learning through vocabulary, movement, art projects and books and songs directly extracted from the folklore traditions of different countries including Israel, Korea, China, Spain and France. Borras believes that incorporating traditional songs into the curriculum and ensuring that all teachers are native speakers, helps to keep the languages and cultures intact.
Originally from the Dominican Republic (DR) Borras has lived in three continents and has studied at Columbia University Teachers College and John Hopkins University. At the age of seven she learned English at an American school in the DR and she credits her country's diverse Afro-European history in producing a richly unique culture. In addition to Musical Kids International, Borras also conducts special education/arts projects in the DR on a recurring basis.
